Yes! Flea market day!! I love these photographs that show where you go and what it looks like!!

I want that Santa on the rocking horse!! My eye was drawn to that immediately.

You know you say you never know what you will bring back and isn't that some of the fun of a flea market? That you allow your eye to wander to be captured by something even if you don't know what you will do with it or how it will fit in to your life/plans/projects...but you want it simply because it makes something inside you happy!

Oh goodie! A flea market day. I love seeing your treasures and these are no exception. Thanks so much for sharing the scenery. I love Father Christmas on the pony. The lion is indeed fierce. I can't imagine living with those teeth. Have a good week, Renate. Hugs, LeAnn

Oh my! I want to go! In my town, we have a flea market of sorts, but it only happens twice a year (they call it The Street Faire). I love searching through all that stuff for treasures! If I feel like hunting, I have to go to garage sales on the weekends. Are there garage sales in Germany?

LOve the photos of your flea market Renate...I wnat to go too! Haven't been for a while, but I really think I have enough STUFF at this point too, and I don't have the itch! The red poetry album is awsesome....maybe the start of an altered book for you?

I'll take one of everything well... except for the lion rug. I can't imagine a set of eyes looking at me every time I stood on it's back!! :) Oh I agree with Sharon!! I think the velvet album could be a perfect altered book!!!

As for your "new" tools and watch cases both great scores in my mind!!! Gads the only way I got a few watch carcusses was to trade a slimy watch repair guy working watches for carcusses!!! :( Which still made them cheaper then eBay. Soooooo besides having a fun day at the flea market you came away with cool junque. What more can a "Junque Junkie" wish for I ask ya?? :)

RenateI always enjoy seeing your treasures...that picture of the overall market gives us a nice idea of what it is like. I think my jaw dropped when I saw the poetry album...I LOVE the old, worn velvet!!! That type of album has been #1 on my list to search for when I'm out antiquing..it is so hard to find. What a rare treasure.

About Me

I have always been a collector – of many things (my mom used to call it junk). Pebbles, pieces of driftwood, bone, glass, seashells; the list could go on and on. It is just my nature. If I only could, I would collect colours – of the foliage in autumn, the subtle nuances within a blooming rose, the light of the sky.
